Have a great weekend!

I fished at one of the ponds at George Bush park off of Westheimer and caught two catfish that we're 18 inches long. One was two pounds and the other was two and a half. I wasn't out there long, but two is better than nothing.

I think they have three ponds in the park.

I'm going to try this pond on saturday off of Eldridge near Spring Cypress. Someone told me that they have a lot of bass in the pond. It's in a neighborhood, but I can't remember the name. I'll let you know when I find out the name. I'm going out to the George Bush pond tonight.

I was driving along today and noticed Clear Creek on Hwy 3 just North of League City. It looked more like a pond or small lake of sorts, does anyone know if this site has access or how the fishing is?

Old Yeller - I know where you're talking about...just past Walter Hall Park. Actually, I've only seen folks pull of the side of 3 and fish there, but lots of crabs in the creek for sure. Might be tough keeping bait on the hook. The farther West you go on Clear Creek the better the blue catfishing is and you'd be surprised how many have come from under the I-45 bridge there in League City!! Some monsters...20-42lbs with many smaller ones.

newbie here , just curious , what type of bait is workin in these areas for cats?

trade a pond? hammerly between bingle and campbell behind the apartments old sring fed lake/pond been fishin there off and on for about 20 years just moved back to the area and at it again

I used live in clear lake and fished clear creek quite often. When the tide is right, I caught a bunch of redfish, specks, and sand trout around the brigdes. But my farovite thing to fish for in clear is big bluecat.

If you learn how the fish position on the tide, you can have 2 hour of real fast action for blue in the 5lbs-15lbs with one every now and then over 20lbs.

They wanted live finger mullet, But some times they are hard to find in the creek, so i used cut mullet. If you want the really big ones use huge chunks of cut mullet(head always catches the biggest one). Big enough crabs can eat on it for hours without taking the whole thing. It funny you see the crab pulling on your line, then the clicker is scream as a bigcat heads down stream.

When it rain real hard for a few days, and the creak starts rushing the cats pile up on humps and any current breaks. This is when i have my best luck with the flatheads.

If you are looking for bass check the post on tom bass.

good day today at the spring fed hole... white and green bass assasin pulled out 6 in less than 30 minutes. caught my biggest fish 9lb about 22in try to get photo soon come check it out if you're cruisin through the hood

Hey Meatkutter,

Post a pic! I would trade ya ponds, but the one that I've been going to is a private pond. I'm going to try the pond you have been fishing, if you don't mind. If I come across any new spots I'll let you know. I've been pretty busy lately and just started doing more fishing latley.

still tryin to get the pic up hope to see ya there sometime... have noticed a few new faces here and there its gotta be the weather. less people poppin by during the evenings, weekends invites all kinds so i fish the corners more steadily.......any tips on spring fed fishing?

Live like 20-25 minutes from that hammerly one, never knew it existed. Probably because im never on that side of town. Remember playing basketball there years back, I was the only cracka out there lol. There are a ton of ponds in brookshire, however i dont have access to some of them anymore. Anyone ever fished the ponds behind hwy6/addicks on the south side of I-10. U walk up that hill by that stop n go (or sumthing) store. like half way between I-10 and west oaks mall?

Hey - Do you know if the spring fed pond off of hammerly is open to the public? Also are there bass or bluegill in it? thanks

I am going to be in Houston at the end of the month and was wondering if anyone knew a good place to fish I will be staying on Clay Rd and the Beltway

I caught some catfish and a nice big carp at that spring lake pond.
